2017 Figgins Estate Red Wine – Critically Acclaimed 97-93 Ratings

Figgins Wine Estate Red 2017 | Walla Walla Valley Bordeaux Blend

Sourced from Washington’s renowned Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley appellations, the 2017 Figgins Wine Estate Red is a masterful Bordeaux-style blend crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This award-winning vintage has earned critical acclaim, including a stellar 97-point rating from James Suckling, who praised its plush texture and harmonious balance of dark fruit, chocolate, and cedar notes.

Bottled after 23 months of meticulous aging in French oak barrels, this wine delivers a refined tasting experience marked by layers of cassis, black raspberry, and resinous florals on the nose. The palate is both full-bodied and elegant, with seamless tannins and bright acidity that create a lingering finish. Jeb Dunnuck highlights its “terrific concentration” and “beautifully balanced structure,” while Wine Advocate notes its mineral tension and dusty cherry complexity—a testament to Figgins’ commitment to precision winemaking.

Perfect for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring (best from 2022–2030), this wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses. At 14.8% alcohol, it offers bold character without overpowering intensity. Whether you’re seeking a sophisticated addition to your collection or a standout bottle for special occasions, this estate-grown blend exemplifies Washington’s prowess in crafting world-class Bordeaux blends.

Experience the depth of Walla Walla Valley terroir in every sip—where tradition meets modern craftsmanship.
